I argued because I was trying to calmly answer the questions my opposition impolitely asked me and to defend my values like any respectable person would. You said yourself it's not my fault; yet now you are saying it is my fault for not ending the argument. That's stupid--I couldn't have stopped the argument even if I wanted too, and plus, I was not the person who started the argument--it was my opposition who immediately took to arms.
Does it look like I want to debate when I was calmly answering questions and respectably defending my points--never attacking my opponents? Trying to soothe the tension? In fact, it was me who later on ended the argument by successfully resolving the conflict between me and the opposition.
And like I said before, why is it that they can give their points on a controversial matter and not mine? Why has our freedom of speech, guaranteed by the United States' Constitution, become so taboo? "Disagreement is the cornerstone of our Democracy". Stating my opinion was and is justified since they were the ones to bring up the issue in the first place--not me.
I can't get over anything? Does it look like I can easily get over something where my opposition is yelling and cussing at me? Insulting and degrading me? Give me credit for at least holding my temper.
